When I worked out in AZ, during the reign of Sheriff Joe, I felt pretty safe -- despite working for a union of Mexican immigrant construction workers, many of which (at the time) had no papers.

Why did I feel safe? Because of El Robbo.

El Robbo was a legend among Mexican immigrants -- including the guys I worked for and with. At the end of the work day we'd all say: "Vaya con El Robbo!"

The "Robbozistas" were a well-known cadre of radicals -- like a modern Robin Hood and his Merry Men. El Robbo led them to steal from the rich and give to the poor.

The Ghost of Tom Joad ain't got nothing on El Robbo de 85006!
